The Corcoran GroupOctober 3, 2011It’s best to come during their Jazz Brunch on Saturday and Sunday (add the unlimited drink option). We like the music and their Vanilla Bean French Toast.
Michael PadgettFebruary 9, 2014The staff during the Sunday Brunch is friendly, but high strung. They overbook a little, so you can't really relax at your table. But the ambience, music, and food are all phenomenal!
Gilt CitySeptember 21, 2011The music plays seven nights a week, and during brunch on the weekends, with a 17-piece band shaking down the house on Monday and Tuesday nights. Make sure to order Chef Gregg Berk's fabulous steak.
Love love love this place for Brunch!!! The bartender is awesome and the food is outta sight!!! Make sure you make reservation if your party is bigger than 3 and always. Be nice ;)
Kate McKenneyJanuary 1, 2013Stuffed Breast of Chicken is wicked amazing! Waited 5 years to have it a second time & it tasted even better!!!
Laura RJune 26, 2012Food is really good here and the live jazz makes it a fun place to go! Can turn into a boozy brunch if you want to. Better with smaller groups
Kristen KOctober 8, 2012Love the jazz/ambience! Not a fan of the way they handle dairy allergies. Very careless. I had to send my 1st plate back b/c it had butter on it & then they did the same thing the 2nd time around! :(
This is the best Jazz Brunch in the Village. Sunday's are the best day to go. Come early and get a reservation!
Sorana TarmuJune 7, 2013Must try the Garage Mussels. I paired them with the Californian Zinfandel. OK sommeliers, shoot me, but to my humble palate it worked.
Katrishia VelezDecember 21, 2013Bottomless mimosas + Jazz music = amazing. Come here around Christmas time for even more magic
Glenda CrispOctober 13, 2012The sesame encrusted Salmon is a must-have. We had a great waiter and enjoyed some excellent Jazz.
AliciaNovember 28, 2012Impossible to have a conversation when the jazz band is playing. If youre looking for dinner amd conversation, dont come here when there is a band!!
ChrisNovember 21, 2010Great value for brunch with unlimited drinks. However had a reservation here and was squeezed into a small table so feel they could do a better job managing their tables/reservations.
SparkieSeptember 25, 2012West Village – $16.95 for any brunch item with only $6 more for unlimited cocktails. Enjoy some live Jazz music as well
Elle SaillantSeptember 22, 2011My fav restaurant in NYC... has the best Jazz music, Drinks and Food... what else do you need?!
Joanna FlammFebruary 21, 2011Great music. Go on the weekend for jazz brunch, $16.95 for brunch and a drink, add $6 for unlimited brunch booze. Reservations a must.
Marcus TorbertMarch 13, 2014The food and services was lacking compared to other restaurants in the around. I was really shocked since it was recommended by the hotel I was stay at well visiting some friends. Not returning
Meghan BurekJanuary 22, 2012Live music and big band entertainment! Nice place to relax with live music.
Kristen MassaroJanuary 4, 2010Garage is a must visit place for brunch! They have a pre-fix menu for $22 which includes a massive meal and all you can consume beverages (of the alcoholic persuasion)
Erica PhillipMay 14, 2013Great place to listen to some live jazz 7 days a week. Serve great Mussels.
Pamela MuellerOctober 5, 2013Great little place but service isn't fantastic. Thought it strange they couldn't separate the checks for just three people. Well won't is probably more like it.
Fatoma KhazalJuly 16, 2012is a famous restaurant which provides more live jazz than anywhere in the World.
Mike StreetSeptember 22, 2009Had brunch here on Sunday and it it REALLY GOOD! $21 for unlimited cocktails and good food and GREAT service. This will totally be my spot from now on.
Emilie FuttermanJanuary 4, 2015Live jazz while you eat! Food is mediocre and service is slow but it's cheap and the atmosphere is fun.
Faith LegendreDecember 30, 2010Try the chocolate pate, it's so rich and not too sweet. One of the better desserts I've had.
Lane ByrumOctober 22, 2010Make sure you catch the live jazz - the Nick Moraw Trio was amazing! Enjoy the coq au vin, too!
Loren RainaFebruary 14, 2015DO NOT GO. I made reservations for 8 via Opentable and when I canceled my card was charged 25.99 per person, that is $208 for a meal we didnt eat. I will definitely be reporting them to the BBB.
Daren MillerJanuary 18, 2015Absurd service! Still trying to figure out if this was an elaborate prank. Rudest waiter and unsympathetic manager. The music was the only pleasant part of my experience. Do not waste your time here!
Leesa RaabApril 4, 2011When I go for an unlimited brunch I expect to leave at least a bit tipsy...but their mimosas were weak and not that great. The food was mediocre. If looking for a boozy brunch go elsewhere. Good jazz.
